Second time ever finding Stickley.

Mission backless stool.
Would love some vintage, but for 9.99 ea, not going to complain.

Thanks. Already boxed up for shipping to SPOO.

Just a T-shirt, but that’s a pop for me.

I've not contributed much here over the last year but had a 'big day' recently that's been one of my best.

Spoiler: Back Row L to R

Loro Piana Half-zip pullover

Eleventy sport coat

Here Kitty...

Normally this would be a satisfying find... but now Barbour seems a bit plain.

Spoiler: Who likes vintage shoes?

Canada West Boots (keepers in my size)

Alligator Nettleton Traditional

Some Allen Edmonds

NWOB Made in England Dr. Martens (but very small Size 5)

An Itallian

And a Canadian

i do love travelware. i had the same zero hallburton centurion. though, mine might have been a 24"? had the original turquiose interior. wasn't gonna ship it, so sold it locally. it was not easy and it was on craigslist for a long time... sliding down in price until all i got was $25. i was surprised.

the guy said he'd keep the interior, but it's now got a bunch of foam and expensive camera equipment in it as he's a professional photographer

i'd say its sad, but what else are you supposed to do with it? it's not exactly practical travelware anymore, eh?

Same story for me. I found a beautiful Zero Hallburton suitcase for peanuts. Ended up redonating it. Was down to $15 or $20 on Marketplace. No bites. Such a bummer. I've noticed since Covid, the whole travelware/luggage market changed, or maybe just trends. Orvis Battenkill and Duluth Pack duffles are another previously hot item that seems to have gone way down.

i still have decent luck locally with the "standard luxury" WHEELED stuff like Briggs & Riley Baseline and Tumi Alpha.

i'm guessing a Zero Halliburton briefcase is still valuable though.

Speaking of luggage .
I understand this is the better made pre MUL still made in the USA example.

Wow! Killer find!

Does anyone know of some 'worth it' thrifts in Pittsburgh?

Planning a trip to visit some Mac Miller spots in the new year and can't pass up a thrift or two.

I think Pittsburgh has the highest vintage/resale shops per capita, so I don't think you'll be hitting any gold mines.

My personal faves are Red White & Blue, and Thriftique.

I'll check those two out if time allows!

Beers?

LMK what dates, although I'm not as flexible as I used to be pre-baby. Take that statement in any way you want, it applies.
